Ben is done. He is very inaccurate.

i'm not just blaming him. the lack of discipline - like the personal foul by Okadokie, whatever his name is. Then Claypool gets tackled, and the Bengal drags his leg over Claypool to do some celebratin', and what does CLaypool do? Goes over to shove him. WRONG APPROACH.

how can ANY coach not get fired up. is that unbeoming these days? JOhn Madden, Cowher, they would be LIVID and showing it. It was priceless.

but tell me, JuJu bust some dope moves tonight, huh?

When you have all but zero run game and teams know you’re going to throw the ball 3:1, it makes it extremely tough.

I do wonder how many obviously’s Tomlin is using.

He’ll likely post his moves on social media right after the game. I do hope the Bengals post that hit and fumble to their social media pages.

With so many receivers dropping the ball that are such easy catches in the past two games, this is going to take a toll on any QB. It isn't like Ben has a Gronk to throw to or a Wes Welker. He really has garbage. No great receivers. No running backs. He is a one man show.

Just the way it is now. Big Ben has the entire team on his shoulders. I don't think that is enough in the NFL these days.

We need some good receivers and a running back. You can't have this much pressure on a QB.

On the bright side, Snell with 107 total yards.

Rest them all.

JuJu is definitely part of the problem now and Snell had a good game he was the only
Steeler’s offensive player who impressed me. The wheels have officially fallen off and I know this wont happen, but I think the Steeler’s just need to rest everyone and get healthy for the playoffs.

This team has regressed, obviously, and will not win another game this year and be one & done in the playoffs.
At this point, the Ravens, and even the Browns, are better teams.
As usual, no coaching adjustments from the arrogant , stubborn Tomlin and his useless staff.
Steelers outcoached, and obviously assumed they would win a a walkover; how often has that happened to Coach Cliche's teams??
Roethlisberger is done, or is hurt and hiding it, or maybe both.
Offensive line has also turned into a major weak spot: Villanueva, DeCastro and Pouncey are just hanging on.
They lose to Ryan Freakin Finley! Good thing Burrow was hurt; it would have likely been worse.

I expect to hear of injuries after the season, and I don’t expect Tomlin to rest anyone.

Can’t remember the last time I watched a RB have to dive over the top on a 4th and 1 that wasn’t at the goal line.

Tomlin needs to go for sure. Juju is garbage and a distraction. The offensive line is soft. DeCastro looks washed up out there. He is fresh turd on the sidewalk soft.

Ben may want to play another year for the money. At this point I can’t see the Steelers paying him to do that. His passes are half sidearm throws now. Major surgery and Father Time has ended his career. This isn’t a slump he’s in. It’s old age and retirement saying come to Jesus. I remember Warren Moon talking about age taking it’s toll on legend qbs that stick around too long. The decline is fast and steep. Looks like a different player from game to game.

This franchise needs to clean house and start over. It’s that simple.

How are they going to pay him not to do that?

it has nothing to do with that. we are talking FIRST offensive series. bad pass, run for like 3 yards, bad pass (behind receiver), then punt.

the bengals had no time to strategize effectively because the offensive was awful enough.

as for snell, he had no blocking early. how he ripped off some great runs in the second half, i dont know, but dont throw a party yet. remember Conner is our #1 back, ideally, and had a 1,000 yard season. yeah, that Conner.

I hear most teams in the league would take Roethlisberger tomorrow, so should be easy to find a trade partner. lol
